Hello
Any surgery carries the risk of infection. Diabetics are at a higher risk due to defective immunity.
So the need of the hour is to drain the abscess and keep the operation site infection free for it to heal properly.
In my opinion good nursing care is needed than change of doctor.
keep her blood sugar and blood pressure under control to facilitate wound healing
